Site Selection for Hatchery

 Site Selection for Hatchery

  We may be choose site selection for shrimp, freshwater prawn and fish hatchery. If you pick site selection for hatchery, you need to know what hatchery do you pick (shrimp, freshwater prawn or fish hatchery).

  In a brief, first transportation is the main subject of site selection for hatchery. If transportation is smooth, we can easily transport and take easily necessary equipments, feeds and drugs for hatchery and our products (pl or fish larvae) from our hatchery.

  Next one, "Electricity is very important. If we will build the hatchery, we have to use the electricity. If we don't use it, the costs will increase for using engine and dynamo. If compare to the electricity bill, hatchery costs will increase. Our customers are also uncomfortable. So, the electricity is very important. 

  Farm labour is also very important. Because there are labour difficulties in some areas. Due to the lack of workers, there are often delays at our work. Instead of 6 people doing it, 3 people do it or instead of 3 people, 1 or 2 do it. So, it is often not finish in time our works. Due to this delay, production may be affected. If there is no skill labour, the products (pl or fish larvae) may be affected in any way.So, skill labour is also an essential factor.

  Next one, it is necessary to be close to a suitable place to buy medicines (lime, dolomite, chlorine, iodine, and etc.) and supplies in an emergency. Market, we may be worked whether shrimp and prawn hatchery or fish hatchery and will take our products (pl or fish larvae) to markets. 

But there is not take to market as growthout that it takes to farmers who cultured. So the farmers and our hatchery should be the suitable distances to get our business success.

  Next one, water resources is also very important for any hatchery. We have to know where our hatchery is close to the factories and fields because chemical recidues and pesticides from factories wastes and fields can affected our hatchery. So, we should be build hatchery from away factories and fields.

  And we need to know social economics. For examples, if we want to take fish and prawn hatchery, we need to know wheather the local fish farmers is cultured what kind of fish and freshwaterprawn. Basically we should know where to build and what kind of hatchery. For example, if we build the shrimp hatchery, there should not build inland. We should build the shrimp hatchery, it in NgweSaung, KyautPhyu and Coastal areas nearly the local business.

Thank you so much.
